The Pistons vs. The Pacers

The 22-34 Detroit #Pistons in Indiana to play the first game of a home-and-home against the 33-21 Pacers Friday night.

The good: Jose seems to really be fitting in with his new team and Slava is playing well coming off the bench in Andre’s absence.

The bad: The Pacer are 12-3 in the past 15 match-ups with the Pistons and has won nine straight at home. Charlie Villanueva has decided (and why wouldn’t he) to use his player option and return to Detroit next season for over 8 million dollars.

The unknown: Danny Granger, who has yet to play this season may return in one or both games against Detroit. Will Brandon Knight play after the knee injury in Wednesday night’s win?

Tip off is at 7:00 pm and will be broadcast on Fox Sports . If you can’t catch the game on TV, catch it on the radio over at 97.1 the Ticket.
